All Things Lips – These Crazy Montanas

I’m sure all you moms out there know what I’m talking about. The baby is finally down, I have loads of laundry, a house that looks like a tornado just blew through, and a desperate need to workout. This is what we call the nap time hustle, approximately an hour and a half (if I’m lucky) to complete all of these tasks. First up….the work out. If I don’t do that first, it won’t get done and my booty will be so sad about it later!

^^I mean, how does one kid make such a mess??

Here is my quick little butt kicking workout!

^That’s how excited I get about working out by myself! Ha!

Legs, and a little cardio:

Round 1:

2 minutes on the treadmill (incline 6, speed 6)

20 stationary body weight lunges on each leg

15 squats on the smith machine

Repeat 3x through

Round 2:

15 Glute kick-backs on each leg with the Smith Machine

20 sumo squats

15 jump squats

Repeat 3x through

Round 3:

15 stiff legged deadlifts

1 minute wall sit (these bring me back to my middle school days! ha!)

5 minutes walking lunges on the treadmill

Cool Down and STRETCH!

Y’all DO this workout..I promise your legs and butts will be screaming and you will love every second!! Feel free to comment if you don’t know what something is!

The workout took 40 minutes, toy picking up took 5 (maybe I exaggerated the mess), and the laundry took 30…..and baby Max is still asleep! Now….to eat in peace!!

Happy Tuesday y’all!!

Well, pretty much all of my friends are pregnant right now, which has me feeling all nostalgic about my pregnancy. I absolutely loved being pregnant (lies, the first trimester was pretty awful). I wanted to share my top 5 tips to make pregnancy a wonderful, healthy experience.

1. Drink Lots of Water.

I can not stress enough the importance of staying hydrated during pregnancy. It is a natural energy booster, and trust me, you need to all the energy you can get. Being hydrated helps keep all of our organs functioning properly and will help keep those pesky pregnancy symptoms stay away. Especially those headaches!

2. Walk. Walk A Lot.

I took a walk every night. Walking outside in the fresh air helped give me energy, relieved my nausea (especially in those first dreaded weeks), and even helped me sleep at night.

3. Eat Your Vegetables.

Especially those dark leafy greens like spinach, and kale! The vitamins found in vegetables are so great for your baby’s cell growth. Not to mention they will help keep you healthy!

4. Buy Maternity Clothes.

There is something so exciting about putting on maternity clothes (which are super cute now days). They are made for your growing belly and will make you feel so much more comfortable in your skin! You are growing a little miracle in there and you should feel so proud to show that belly off!

5. Educate Yourself….Carefully.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions and interview new doctors if need be! It is so important that you and your caregiver are on the same page about what you want for your pregnancy and birth. The end goal is a healthy baby and healthy mama, there is no wrong way to get there. On the flip side, don’t read too much. There is so much information out there, some of it is so great, and some of it is terrifying. Remember, our bodies are made for this! We all have our mama instincts and we need to trust them!

Everyone is so different. If you have things that helped make your pregnancy more enjoyable, please share them!

Here is my belly transformation through pregnancy! So crazy! Our bodies are amazing ladies!
